The Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen is an automotive museum operated by Porsche that showcases the brand’s history, models and motorsport achievements. The current purpose-built museum building opened in 2009 and is located close to the company’s factory and the original Porsche site.

Exhibits are arranged chronologically and thematically, presenting early prototypes, production models, limited editions and racing cars across interconnected gallery levels. Rotating special exhibitions complement the permanent display and the museum includes educational spaces, a shop and visitor facilities.

The museum building is noted for its bold contemporary architecture and a large central atrium that organises circulation and vehicle displays. The site serves both as a public museum and as an interpretive centre for Porsche’s industrial and sporting heritage.

The museum sits in the Zuffenhausen district of Stuttgart, adjacent to Porsche’s production facilities and accessible by local public transport from the city centre.

• Museum building: The current museum building opened in 2009 and was designed by the architectural firm Delugan Meissl; it presents cars across multiple sloped levels around a central atrium.
• Collection on display: Around 80 vehicles are typically on display at any time from Porsche’s historical collection, with additional cars held in the museum archive and restoration workshops.

What to See#

• Main exhibition: A multi-level permanent exhibition arranged chronologically and thematically displays early prototypes, production models and racing cars from Porsche’s history.
• Atrium and architecture: A dramatic central atrium and sloping galleries form the building’s circulation, with vehicles displayed across interlinked levels for an overview of the collection.
• Temporary exhibitions: Rotating special exhibits and a temporary gallery host focused displays on design themes, anniversaries and motorsport topics.

The Porsche Museum is in the Zuffenhausen district of Stuttgart at Porscheplatz 1. It is easily reached from central Stuttgart by S‑Bahn to Zuffenhausen station (a short walk to the museum) or by local bus services serving Zuffenhausen; by car the site is north of Stuttgart city centre (single‑digit kilometres) with on‑site parking available and arterial roads connecting from the A81/B10 corridor.

• Book a timed-entry ticket online and aim for the museum's opening slot or late afternoon to avoid the busiest periods; timed tickets significantly reduce queueing on popular days.
• If you also want a factory or plant tour, reserve that separately well in advance-factory tours have limited capacity and often sell out independently of museum tickets.
• Allow extra time to explore temporary exhibitions and the shop - the main collection can be seen in 1-2 hours, but rotating displays and special exhibits merit additional time.
